After reading the query about Othello I dug out the copy I have, which
was written in BASIC.  I fired it up and played a few rounds.  I would
NOT call it "horrible", in fact it was rather fun.  In fact, the small
time the computer took to figure out its moves (maybe 5 seconds or so)
was rather comforting, and made the humiliation when it consistently won
all the more bearable.  I HATE games that reply to my every move in
milliseconds and STILL beat me every time!

If anybody is interested in a copy I'll look into the possibility of
uploading it.  (Last time I tried, I had some trouble with this host's
kermit.)  -John Sangster SPHINX Technologies, Inc.
